- vetinari 16y agoNothing. rtorrent is starving your network bandwidth and disk i/o; video is decoded by gpu. The atom cpu is enough to handle both at once. If you get choppy playback, it will be due disk i/o.
- ZoFreX 16y agoAs Vetinari said: Nothing. The CPU is dual-core and barely loaded by video decoding. Depending on your connection speed and the piece size of the torrents, you may run out of RAM though (there's 2GB total in the box and it's quite easy to make rtorrent use that much).
